Top Lists: Great Albums Turning 20 This Year

1991 must have been an incredible year for music (I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t born yet!). Many remember 1991 simply as the year Nirvana released Nevermind, which ended hair metal and began a grunge movement that bands today are still taking inspiration from. As important as that album would become, there were many other albums released in 1991 that were just as good, if not better, than Nevermind. For the 20th anniversary of the great year that was 1991 (it was also the year Silence of the Lambs came out!) let’s take a walk down memory lane and see what music was released.

Soundgarden – Badmoterfinger

Pearl Jam – Ten

Stevie Ray Vaughan – The Sky Is Crying

Guns N’ Roses – Use Your Illusions I and II

U2 – Achtung Baby

B.B. King – Live at the Apollo

My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
